A woman lies on a patterned beach towel, with her left arm across her abdomen and her right hand on her forehead. She wears a white top and has dark brown hair. Beside her, a crying infant sits in a stroller under a pink umbrella. The baby is bald and wears a light-colored outfit with a pink blanket. Various items like shoes and bags are scattered around. In the background, another woman in a blue bathing suit is surrounded by bags, a towel, and footwear. A line of people walks along a dark, sloping wall in the bright daylight.
